Chicago won’t see a white Christmas Eve or Christmas this year, but it will see a grey and cloudy one.<\/p>\n
“Lots of clouds over the next few days,” NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Kevin Jeanes said. “A cloudy pattern.”<\/p>\n
Christmas Eve high temperatures would be in the mid-40s, Jeanes said, with light rain and drizzle expected after 4 p.m. <\/p>\n
The “gloomy weather” will continue through Christmas morning, the National Weather Service said, with patchy fog also possible. <\/p>\n
Thursday, Christmas Day, will see more clouds overhead and a few sprinkles, Jeanes said, with above-average high temperatures around 40 degrees. <\/p>\n
Conditions will remain on the wet side Thursday night into Friday morning, Jeanes said, with steady rain for the first half of the day. <\/p>\n
Temperatures would be warmer Friday, with a high of 49 degrees, remaining in the mid 40s Saturday. <\/p>\n
By Sunday though, a “big pattern change” is expected. <\/p>\n
Morning temperatures Sunday will feel mild but fall throughout the day, Jeanes said, turning cold and blustery with a chance of snow showers by evening. <\/p>\n
Next week, temperatures will be much colder, with a 20-degree temperature drop and morning wind chills in the single digits starting Monday, with a chance of snow showers on New Year’s Eve. <\/p>\n
